If you have an 811, 921, or 942, go to www.antennaweb.org. It will tell you what type of off air antenna you will need and what digital channels you can get. The only HD feed provided by dish is CBS-HD from NY or LA. You must have a dish pointed at 61.5 or 148 and usually have an HD Waver approved from you local CBS station if you don't live in a O&O market. Hope this helps
